OBRINB GROWTH
Analogy Drawn By Realtor
Between Lommunity and
t Human Being
By RICH I4. RED! ANN
We were taught In school that
uuman being attains his full phy-
tical growth at' the age ot 21. I
wrong Impression
believe that a
was created in the minds of many
on account of their teaching. Many
ot us have, stopped growing not
only physically but mentally and
spiritually at the age of 21
doubt very much that we quit
flowing, even physically at that
gel If we grow not only taller,
w surely grow stouter or thinner.
There is no standstill In nature.
It fa given, to the human being to
take advantage of this natural
taw I ,

In deTOlonment in a certain Air-
uation for all civiC'-iion, we I11 advance and make

ra $1.94 in 1912 ttrltjs growth in given channels, we
2. , U will get nowhere and have more
or less confuison, dissatisfaction
and disorder.
Let me give an example. Take
an orchard. Take care of one-half
prune, cultivate it attend to it with
the object in mind of raising a big
fine specimen ot fruit. Let the
other half grow for itself, unat
tended,- uncared. Can you ima
gine how these two orchards will
look when they are at the age ot
fruit bearing?
Luther Burbank, has shown us
very clearly what can be obtained
by directing the natural growth in
nature.
Now let us apply this same law
of growth to our community. Let
us. direct our natural growth into
correct channels. Progress, devel
opment, harmony, and happiness
will prevail.
Very few people seem to know
and understand these laws and
therefore we have so much confu
sion, worry and dissatisfaction.
There is plenty for all of us, if
we have growth in a certain direc
tion. It takes men of. vision, who
can direct this growth into the
correct channels. .
Salem, the Willamette valley,
Oregon, can never come into their
own until we know -in what direc
tion we want to grow. A certain
program must be worked out and
we must know what our aim and
purpose is. We need leaders, men
ot vision.
